THE LAST GUARDSVEN. 15th CENTURY 1: Varangopoulos 2: English guardsman 3: Emperoe Manuel Il Palsiologos, 1408 4. Cretan guardsman First man has full battle armor with a round shield. Second man has a battle axe a leather vest helmet with chain link face protection, the emperor has very middle eastern clothing and the last is dressed as a Roman soldier from the 1st century.

What’s very interesting about the #Byzantines in the 15th century before their fall including their dress and armor is they considered themselves #Roman because they used Roman #law, they used #Vikings, the #emperors were #Greek, their clothes Asian and some still wore 1st century Roman type #armor.

All violence is stupid.

The #Varangian Guard was an elite unit of the #Byzantine army from the 10th to the 14th century who served as personal bodyguards to the Byzantine #emperors ..primarily composed of recruits from Northern Europe, Norsemen from #Scandinavia but also Anglo-Saxons from #England.

The real reason famous men in old portraits always raised their right hands, but never their left Posing in portraiture is an art in itself. In classical paintings of powerful figures such as royalty and generals, artists carefully considered not only likeness and features but also what the portrait would ultimately convey. Just as modern politicians on TV want their hair, teeth, makeup, and clothes just right, authority figures in the past were equally particular about how they appeared in portraits. A strange pose commonly seen in sculptures and portraits dating back to Ancient Rome shows the subject with one arm raised, always the right, and gesturing or pointing with a slightly open hand. The pose is known as _adlocutio_. One of the earliest and most famous examples appears in the sculpture _Augustus of Prima Porta_ , completed in the 1st century AD by an unknown artist. It shows Augustus, the first Roman emperor, armor-clad and barefoot, with a baby Cupid riding a dolphin at his side. (Yes, really.) Augustus strikes the signature _adlocutio_ pose, giving the sculpture a sense of life and movement and reinforcing his power and authority. But what is he pointing at? The Emperor Augustus.By Till Niermann/Wikimedia Commons The word _adlocutio_ was used in Ancient Rome to describe a general or emperor addressing his soldiers. You can almost see it in the sculpture of Augustus; he is not pointing so much as gesturing animatedly while delivering a speech. "In ancient Rome, gestures often spoke about one's position or rank in society," writes historian JP Kenwood. "One of the most common gestures in the visual language of Rome was the _adlocutio_ , a posture and gesture that indicated the person—male citizens only, of course—was a person with authority giving a speech." Many politicians make use of specific hand gestures when making speeches.brooke from atlanta/Wikimedia Commons It's easy to see, then, why the pose became a kind of shorthand in portraiture for power and leadership. ****A famous 1801 painting of Napoleon crossing the Alps is another prominent example of the pose in action.**** Napoleon crossing the Alps.Jacques-Louis David/Wikimedia Commons ****A few years earlier, George Washington was immortalized in the _Lansdowne portrait_. The president sat only once for the life-sized, iconic portrait painted by Gilbert Stuart. George Washington in the "Landsdowne portrait."By Gilbert Stuart/Wikimedia Commons ****The pose, while old, is still as relevant as ever. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? A massive statue of Mao Zedong from 1970 features a strikingly similar gesture.**** A famous statue of Mao Zedong in China.By Noel Hanna/Wikimedia Commons ****The _adlocutio_ pose conveys authority and leadership by echoing an emperor's or general's address. That's simple enough. But there is more to the pose than meets the eye.**** Crucially, subjects striking this pose always raise their right hand, never the left. The reason lies in subtle religious symbolism popular in Rome at the time the pose was established. "In antiquity, the right hand symbolized divinity; when it was raised, you were thought to be closer to the gods," according to Meural. "And the left was the exact opposite, signifying the damned, the wrong, the befouled." In times of limited sanitation, the right hand was often used for eating, while the left was reserved for bathroom tasks. As a result, it became known as the "unclean" hand, regardless of an individual's dominant side. Lauren Julius Harris writes that children who favored their left hand for reaching, eating, grabbing, or playing were often corrected, a practice that persisted as recently as the 19th century. Raising the right hand was not only a symbol of power and status, but also of closeness to God. In fact, in portraits of men and women, the _adlocutio_ pose was used deliberately to signal specific aspects of a subject's status. The iconic "Arnolfini portrait." By Jan van Eyck - Gennadii Saus i Segura/Wikimedia Commons ****Today, with digital photography, we can take nearly unlimited photos of a subject in a wide range of poses, backgrounds, and lighting setups. Photographers can then select the portraits with the most potential and edit them to maximize the intended effect.**** Ancient painters did not have that luxury. With only a brief sitting from the subject, they often had a single chance to get a portrait right, making time-tested poses like _adlocutio_ a critical tool. And while public portraits are far rarer today, _adlocutio_ still works. Weirong Li, who works with leaders and executives on their communication skills, tells Upworthy that "open elevated gestures boost confidence hormones... Ancient leaders discovered this instinctively—the raised palm signals 'I'm confident but not threatening.' I see this work in boardrooms constantly."
